Richard Sherman and Doug Baldwin are hardly fools and with their latest press conference the Stanford University graduates prove their perceptive talents should never be underestimated. The reigning Super Bowl Champion Seahawks’ corner back enlisted his teammate-Doug Baldwin and his [Baldwin’s] cut out to defend fellow team mate, Marshawn Lynch and question the hypocrisy in the NFL.
Marshawn Lynch was recently fined $100K for failing to talk to the press last week after a team loss. This week in what can be perceived as protest, Lynch answered every question with a “Yeah”. Sherman ( who may be the Players Association perfect spokesperson) discussed the NFL’s hypocrisy in the NFL’s media availability rules as well as covering the conflict in endorsements focusing on the Beats by Dre and Bose ordeal. He challenges the player safety ideology citing that the NFL makes players play two games within five days and even questions the NFL’s biggest sponsorship deal.
I side with Sherman. This brilliant skit will most likely result in fines for both Sherman and Baldwin, but it is what most players probably want to say.
Made to order and shipped to your door.

The Sherman and Baldwin press review is quite comical:
